Microwave point-to-point radios are fastest because they travel through air, but more importantly, are typically the shortest path possible by line-of-sight.
Being 66.7% of speed of light doesn’t matter terribly when you consider that the cable path is shorter by more than 66.7% of path taken by satelite link.
There’s also the idea of

You’ll have a bad time with used copper tape. Just like why it isn’t advised to reuse any other kind of tape (duct, packaging, electrical)

2mA minimum, and that’s just q current. It’s gonna be much higher when you’re actually using it for a clock.
I’m sure the casio’s main power sink is the display. I bet the refresh rate could be reduced for better battery life.
- Comment on If we silenced all the sources of misinformation/disinformation people would be agast at how quiet it is. 2 months ago:
Science has an unintuitive philosophical system, it is actually impossible (or just not feasible) to “disprove” a lot of things absolutely 100%.
Best you can do is prove something, or fail to prove something.
And it does make some sense, there’s uncertainty in measurements, there’s some probability and statistics involved.
Proving there are NOT aliens out there would require checking every inch of every planet for life, remains, or fossils.

People also don’t realize how incredibly stupid humans can be. I don’t mean that in a judgemental or moral kind of way, I mean that the educational system has failed a lot of people.
There’s some % of people that could use AI for every decision in their lives and the outcome would be the same or better.
That’s even more terrifying IMO.

- Comment on Why most countries are struggling to shut down 2G. 3 months ago:
There’s a lot of hidden cost associated with supporting legacy features/standards/technology
Do they have different frequencies? Require different antennas?
Are there cost implications for radios / amplifiers? Do ASICs support only newer modes? How much obsoleted / legacy HW is required?
And that’s just from a manufacturer standpoint.
Are more licenses required? Or other regulatory impacts?
